NCTC scholarship deadline approaches

The deadline at North Central Texas College to apply for scholarships for the Spring 2017 semester is Oct. 15. Scholarship amounts vary from $500 to $2,000 per academic year and all NCTC students are encouraged to apply. New and prospective students must apply for admission, activate their Lion Pride Email, and sign up for a scholarship account to complete the scholarship application. Current students simply need to activate their Lion Pride Email, if they have not already, and sign up for a scholarship account. There are many different types of scholarships students may qualify for, including Dual-Credit, Academic Transfer, Full-Time/Part-Time, and more. You may also qualify for scholarships specific to your major. NCTC has awarded over 17,000 scholarships, valued at over $6.2 million, since 1986. There is an online scholarship application guide, which provides step-by-step instructions for the application process. You can find this guide at nctc.edu/Scholarship.aspx. If you have any questions about applying or donating to an NCTC scholarship fund, contact Kim Carroll, NCTC scholarship coordinator, at kcarroll@nctc.edu.
